Instrumental Duet Instrumental Duet,Viola,Violin - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1128161 By Queen. By Freddie Mercury. Arranged by Krista Broadway Swider. Rock. Score and parts. 9 pages. Krista Swider #728777. Published by Krista Swider (A0.1128161). This arrangement for violin and viola duo is set in the same key as the original song. The intro begins at a slower tempo (quarter note equals 94) with legato arpeggiated eighth notes and chords in the viola. These imitate Freddie Mercury's piano accompaniment while the violin plays the lyrical vocal melody. A quick tempo change (notated according to Queen's recording of the piece, at quarter note equals 144) sets up the first full verse and chorus for a raucous good time with driving chords in the accompaniment and the upbeat vocal line traded off between instruments. In Queen's recording, Don't Stop Me is sung/chanted with drums emphasizing off beats in the bridge. This arrangement emulates Queen's original bridge with accented eighth notes and the sing song melody traded between violin and viola. Each instrument gets a stab at the following electric guitar riff while the other plays edgy chords as backup. After a recap of verse and chorus, the song returns to the original slower tempo and the parts instruct the players to fade out. Parts and score are bowed.
